183 p or t he f u n s tory, told with due attention paid to chronology, see W. W. 

 Buckland, A Text Book oj Roman Law, 101-141; esp. 103. 



184 Cf., e.g., Paul, Exc. 128.8 (Edit, of Lindsay 115.13). 



185 j t wou ld probably be from Greek nurses that Roman boys and girls would 

 hear of this female spectre: C. T. Ramage, op. cit. (see note 20), 62-63; H. M. 

 Vaughan, The Naples Riviera, 110 ; N. Borreli, op. cit. (see note 148), 170. 

 The Mommo which he thinks may be Momo, the god of ridicule, would more 

 naturally represent Mormo. In any case, I query whether Mammon of Math. 

 6.24 can be connected in any way with the Italian bugaboo. See, also, G. 

 Perroni, "Mamucca, credenza popolare di Castroreale", Archivio, XX (1901), 

 537.

 (see note 23), 79; G. Calvia, op. cit. (see note 188), 10: the Fadas. We call 

 these etymological children of the Fata fairies or fays. 



194 I. Nieri, op. cit. (see note 58), 368-369; cf. G. Pitre, op. cit. (see note 58), 

 201-202. It is hard to end the life of the Cumaean Sibyl. Perhaps she will 

 never have her wish: Petron. 48: airoQavCiv 6eXw- 



195 E. Canziani, op. cit. (see note 45), 245. Are we to identify her with that 

 Cumaean seeress whose withered form Trimalchio saw caged (Petron. 48.8) and 

 whose bones were finally interred at Cumae (Paus. 10.12.8)?
